APSU admitted anyone free to Saturday's home opener against Cumberland whodonated nonperishable items or money to the Katrina Relief Effort. SAAC members and
the APSU athletics team were present at the entrances to receive donations. Approximately
6,000 fans were on hand for the contest, the largest home-opening crowd in more than
a decade.

“I'm not surprised at the outpouring of support by our fans in helping those who have
been displaced and/or had their lives impacted by this tragedy,” APSU Athletics Director
Dave Loos said. “I appreciate the work of our coaches and, in particular, SAAC in
making this effort so worthwhile. I think this says a lot about the spirit and the
heart of everyone involved, from those donating to those collecting the items.”Brad
